test and tune days

Went out for some test and tune at the dragstrip. Just ran all motor to shake out some bugs. 60' will get better on the juice since my converter wasnt flashing. Best times were:
60'- 1.392
1/4- 9.724

In a couple of weeks the Sonoma is coming to town. Not that I'll race, but I'm going to start bringing in the nitrous.

I think those times r good. I have a 84 chevy c10 with small block 350 crate. I have done 80 plus in a quarter mile. That's as quick as I can go doing high school drag racing
